This centralizes construction of the error message for an unclosed
logical block (if, foreach, etc.). We record the line at which each
block is opened so it can be reported in the error message.
This uses a stack of 'barriers' to efficiently divide function blockers
into groups corresponding to each input file. It simplifies detection
of missing block close commands and factors it out of ReadListFile.
When a function blocker decides to remove itself we previously removed
it at every return point from the C++ scope in which its removal is
needed. This teaches function blockers to transfer ownership of
themselves from cmMakefile to an automatic variable for deletion on
return. Since this removes blockers before they replay their commands,
we no longer need to avoid running blockers on their own commands.
Previously bad arguments to an if() or elseif() would cause some
subsequent statements in the corresponding block to execute. This
teaches CMake to stop processing commands with a fatal error. It also
provides context to bad elseif() error messages.
The documentation of cmake_policy PUSH and POP states that they must
always match. Previously we enforced this only for the top scope of
each CMakeLists.txt file. This enforces the requirement for all files.
This uses an automatic variable to push and pop variable scope inside a
function call. Previously if the function failed its scope would not be
popped. This approach guarantees a balanced push/pop.
Previously we stored a vector of tests to preserve their order.
Property set/get operations would do a linear search for matching tests.
This uses a map to efficiently look up tests while keeping the original
order with a vector for test file generation.
After creating a utility target with AddUtilityCommand, return a pointer
to the cmTarget instance so the caller may further modify the target as
needed.
If the arguments to a command fail to parse correctly due to a syntax
error, the command should not be invoked. This avoids problems created
by processing of commands with bad arguments. Even though the build
system will not be generated, the command may affect files on disk that
persist across CMake runs.
This introduces the unset() command to make it easy to unset CMake
variables, environment variables, and CMake cache variables. Previously
it was not even possible to unset ENV or CACHE variables (as in
completely remove them). Changes based on patch from Philip Lowman.
See issue #7507.
In the future some policies may be set to REQUIRED_IF_USED or
REQUIRED_ALWAYS. This change clarifies the error messages users receive
when violating the requirements.
- The property tracks the value formed by add_definitions
and remove_definitions command invocations.
- The string should be maintained for use in returning for the
DEFINITIONS property value.
- It is no longer used for any other purpose.
- The DEFINITIONS property was recently documented as deprecated.
- See bug #7239.
- CMake 1.8 and below did not do the check but could get in
infinite loops due to the local generate step.
- CMake 2.0 added the check but failed to perform it in directories
with no targets (see bug #678).
- CMake 2.2 removed the local generate which fixed the problem but
did not remove the check.
- Between CMake 2.4 and 2.6.0rc6 the check was fixed to work even
when no targets appear in a directory (see bug #6923).
- Bottom line: the check is no longer needed.
- Message for missing cmake_minimum_required is not issued
until the end of processing the top CMakeLists.txt file
- During processing a cmake_policy command may set behavior
- OLD behavior is to silently ignore the problem
- NEW behavior is to issue an error instead of a warning
- Add cmListFileBacktrace to record stack traces
- Move main IssueMessage method to the cmake class instance
(make the backtrace an explicit argument)
- Change cmMakefile::IssueMessage to construct a backtrace
and call the cmake instance version
- Record a backtrace at the point a target is created
(useful later for messages issued by generators)
- Add cmMakefile methods IssueError and IssueWarning
- Maintain an explicit call stack in cmMakefile
- Include context/call-stack info in messages
- Nested errors now unwind the call stack
- Use new mechanism for policy warnings and errors
- Improve policy error message
- Include cmExecutionStatus pointer in call stack
so that errors deeper in the C++ stack under
a command invocation will become errors for the
command
- Error if imported target is involved in conflict
- Error for non-imported target conflict unless
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY <= 2.4
- Include OUTPUT_NAME property in error message
- Update add_executable and add_library command documentation
- Created cmExportFileGenerator hierarchy to implement export file generation
- Installed exports use per-config import files loaded by a central one.
- Include soname of shared libraries in import information
- Renamed PREFIX to NAMESPACE in INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands
- Move addition of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to destinations to install generators
- Import files compute the installation prefix relative to their location when loaded
- Add mapping of importer configurations to importee configurations
- Rename IMPORT targets to IMPORTED targets to distinguish from windows import libraries
- Scope IMPORTED targets within directories to isolate them
- Place all properties created by import files in the IMPORTED namespace
- Document INSTALL(EXPORT) and EXPORT() commands.
- Document IMPORTED signature of add_executable and add_library
- Enable finding of imported targets in cmComputeLinkDepends
something like this:

CMake-SourceFile2-bp and CMake-SourceFile2-b-mp1 to trunk. This
commit is surrounded by tags CMake-SourceFile2-b-mp1-pre and
CMake-SourceFile2-b-mp1-post on the trunk.
The changes re-implement cmSourceFile and the use of it to allow
instances to be created much earlier. The use of cmSourceFileLocation
allows locating a source file referenced by a user to be much simpler
and more robust. The two SetName methods are no longer needed so some
duplicate code has been removed. The strange "SourceName" stuff is
gone. Code that created cmSourceFile instances on the stack and then
sent them to cmMakefile::AddSource has been simplified and converted
to getting cmSourceFile instances from cmMakefile. The CPluginAPI has
preserved the old API through a compatibility interface.
Source lists are gone. Targets now get real instances of cmSourceFile
right away instead of storing a list of strings until the final pass.
TraceVSDependencies has been re-written to avoid the use of
SourceName. It is now called TraceDependencies since it is not just
for VS. It is now implemented with a helper object which makes the
code simpler.
GetLocaGenerators(cmLocalGenerators) from cmGlobalGenerator(). Now there is
one const accessor which is even faster since it returns a reference
(instead of copying a vector)
-more const to ensure that this the returned local generators don't actually
get modified
-removed duplicated code in GetCTestCommand() and GetCPackCommand()
-added some const accessors

"imported" executable target. This can then be used e.g. with
ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND() to generate stuff. It adds a second container for
"imported" targets, and FindTarget() now takes an additional argument bool
useImportedTargets to specify whether you also want to search in the
imported targets or only in the "normal" targets.

-add a RESULT_VARIABLE to INCLUDE()
-add CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE for specifiying your (potentially crosscompiling) toolchain
-have TRY_RUN() complain if you try to use it in crosscompiling mode (which were compiled but cannot run on this system)
-use CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX in TRY_RUN(), probably TRY_RUN won't be able to
run the executables if they have a different suffix because they are
probably crosscompiled, but nevertheless it should be able to find them
-make several cmake variables presettable by the user: CMAKE_C/CXX_COMPILER, CMAKE_C/CXX_OUTPUT_EXTENSION, CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME, CMAKE_SYSTEM_INFO_FILE
-support prefix for GNU toolchains (arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-ar, arm-elf-strip etc.)
-move ranlib on OSX from the file command to a command in executed in cmake_install.cmake
-add support for stripping during install in cmake_install.cmake
-split out cl.cmake from Windows-cl.cmake, first (very incomplete) step to support MS crosscompiling tools
-remove stdio.h from the simple C program which checks if the compiler works, since this may not exist for some embedded platforms
-create a new CMakeFindBinUtils.cmake which collects the search fro ar, ranlib, strip, ld, link, install_name_tool and other tools like these
-add support for CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH for all FIND_XXX commands, which is a
list of directories which will be prepended to all search directories, right
now as a cmake variable, turning it into a global cmake property may need
some more work
-remove cmTestTestHandler::TryExecutable(), it's unused
-split cmFileCommand::HandleInstall() into slightly smaller functions
